Okey dokey.
"Eddie...Eddie...Eddie" No player has had their name chanted in the shoe like Eddie. Just thought i'd add that :) Eddie may have slowed down late in his NFL career, after he was abused for years...but he was fast as hell at Ohio State. Holy crap! Did you see that. Me neither, but they say it was Eddie George.

If somebody were to HYPOTHETICALLY say:
Buckyle can be an idiot at times.
Not that anybody has EVER said that...EVER!! But if they were to (WHICH THEY HAVE NOT)...then I might respond like this...

When is Buckyle ever an idiot (other than when he is in the drunk thread)? Buckyle has NEVER EVER EVER been an idiot when talking about Ohio State football. Buckyle is a great Buckeye fan, and a great American! If I could pick one person i've never met to watch a Buckeye game with, it'd probably be Buckyle.

Keep on preaching the Gospil, Buckyle! Can I get an Amen?!


Oh and on a completely UNRELATED note, i'd like to welcome Quagmire to the BP community!

Best?

To compare almost anyone to Barry Saunders is difficult. For his style, no one really compares. Barry in the college game and the professional game had runs that defy my comprehension. If you look back in time, only the Kansas Comet, Gale Sayers, comes close in my mind.

That is not to say the the list presented and others in their own way were not spectacular. For example, Archie Griffin, had some mind boggling runs too, but he was not as ghostlike shifty as Barry Saunders. Eddie, Beanie, LaDanian, Emmitt and others are spectacular in their own right. Don't forget Jim Brown either.

Why must we alway put a tag of "best" on everything? Appreciate the chance to enjoy the athlete-artists in action. Some are hammers and some are scalpels. (Not a very good metaphor, but....)

That's why I asked the best since Barry. You could be significantly worse than Barry and still be the best since him.
